About this book
Sir Joshua Reynolds' Discourses is a book by Joshua Reynolds, edited with an introduction by Helen Zimmern. The contents list, among others, gives the subject of the first discourse as the advantages proceeding from the institution of a Royal Academy. The contents list for the second discourse names, among others, the course and order of study, the different stages of Art and much copying discountenanced.
The text has Sir Joshua saying he is now clearly of opinion that a relish for the higher excellences of the art is an acquired taste, which no man ever possessed without long cultivation and great labour and attention. The text says poetry, having a more extensive power than our art, exerts its influence over almost all the passions. The text says the next lesson should be to change the purpose of the figures without changing the attitude, as Tintoret has done with the Samson of Michel Angelo.
